According to a study by NASSCOM and Deloitte, the global enterprise mobility market (EMM) has been pegged at USD 140 billion by 2020 — with APAC to grow by 21 percent. As per Gartner’s 2016 Hype Cycle for ICT in India, improving a business’ competitiveness and operational efficiencies is the major driver for enterprises adopting Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) throughout the country. Along with the maturity of the solutions offered and functions becoming more standardized, even across industries, the adoption of EMM in India will continue to increase exponentially for another five to 10 years. The India enterprise mobility market is expected to grow from US$ 1.7 billion in 2015 to US$ 2.3 billion in 2017. This scorching pace of growth in enterprise mobility is fueled by the proliferation of smartphones.
